Hershey's Hommes

While on vacation this past week, I still browsed my favorite sites and came across these wonderful pictures of Zanifa Payne's (aka Hershey) Homme dolls.

I'd never seen so many Homme dolls in one collection and I was intrigued so I sent a few questions to Hershey.
Here is the text of her reply:

Apart
from the twenty-two and counting Fashion Royalty Hommes, my collection
also includes over one hundred Fashion Royalty female dolls, close to a
thousand Barbies, countless miniatures, pets, vehicles, Barbie play
sets, clothes, jewelry and numerous Re-ment sets. Basically the list is
endless and all the items I collect are in 1/6 scale
(Playscale). The male Fashion Royalty dolls are one of the smallest
sections of the group, and I mainly collect them to be coupled off with
my favorite female Fashion Royalty ladies, as an accessory of sorts.
They are on display all the time in one of my many dioramas, such as the
bar, cafe or barber shop. Collecting dolls began when I started to
build 1/6 dioramas, and this dates back over 10 years.

My website www.lifecirclez.net
(offline while I undergo updates) was started in 2003 and was created
to facilitate the many photo stories that flooded my mind. The most
notable being the Breast Cancer Awareness Convention and the Hurricane
Preparedness story. Some of my past dioramas can be found on my Flickr
photo stream at http://www.flickr.com/photos/32312740@N06/

My
ultimate goal is to build a city for my dolls with dioramas
representing places such as a post office, supermarket, theater, dentist
office and many more, possibly that room will become a museum of sorts.
This life of collecting, writing stories and playing with
dolls will probably continue throughout my life, as it continues to
bring me joy and permits an outlet for my daughter and I to enjoy
together.

Zanifa suggested another of her pictures to post here:

The fact that the dolls are dressed mostly in black creates a unified and powerful impact on the viewer. What a fun photo.

Black Holes

When I switched photo servers a year ago, many of my images were lost in a black hole. If you are going back in time throughout my blog, you will come across these black holes. It's unfortunate but it would take me a huge amount of time to identify and republish the images. If there is a specific one you are very interested in, email me with the date of the post and I will try to get it for you.Thanks for your continued interest in my blog!Terri
